The Flower Guarding Bell Chapter 20: their children
Meanwhile, Na Quanzhong has swaggered into the imperial study.
He first swept around the imperial study room without salute, laughing and joking, "Na Yunzhe that girl just complained to the old minister, saying that the emperor's son-in-law has heavy state affairs and complained that the old minister did not share his worries for the king, no, the old minister I'm here to offer my condolences."
"The king has a heart. This is the responsibility of the monarch, but the queen is also worried about my body."
Li Changqing smiled lightly, and moved a thousand pounds.
The two of you come and go, and there are turbulent waves hidden in the calm.
Finally, Na Quanzhong finally brought the topic to a woman.
He first sighed.
"Why is the king sighing?"
A worried look appeared on Na Quanzhong's face, "It's not the child of Na Yunzhe."
His slightly cloudy eyes swept across the man behind the table, frowning deeper.
"This girl also heard some rumors from somewhere, saying that the emperor recently favored that Xiao Jieyu, and it meant that she would be above the queen. The child has a good heart and just endured it silently, but The old minister looked at his daughter in fear, and finally couldn't bear it."
Li Changqing folded the memorial in her hand, her face calm and calm, "The country's father has been thinking too much, how can a mere Jieyu compare with the queen? Besides, she is still pregnant with a child, in the harem, who can be better than her? up?"
He said leisurely, his tone was neither rushed nor slow, and he glanced at the person sitting below with no meaning.
"It's those who spread rumors, their hearts can be punished."
Na Quanzhong's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly responded, "What the emperor said is very true, but that woman is an old man of the Chen Dynasty after all. The emperor forced himself to endure the enemy. The old minister is old, and he can't bear to see his child suffer this grievance."
"So, what does the Protector want?"
"I don't dare to overstep, I just want to give the emperor a suggestion." Seeing that the man in the seat was not angry, he quickly continued: "Why don't you let that Xiao Jieyu go to guard the emperor's tomb? In this way, the queen doesn't have to be afraid, And she can continue to serve the royal family, wouldn't she have the best of both worlds?"
In the imperial study, the atmosphere seemed to stagnate for a moment.
Xiao Qingxue, who was hiding in the side hall, always kept her heart high and her expression solemn.
Nowadays, Na Quanzhong is so powerful that most of the Hu ministers in the court follow his lead. She is not sure whether Li Changqing will really make the decision to expel her in order to stabilize the situation.
At this moment, she could only anxiously wait for the answer from the outsiders.
In the outer hall, Na Quanzhong, who had not received a reply from Li Changqing for a long time, reminded him again.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Li Changqing's eyes seemed to be separated by a layer of mist, making it difficult to see the true emotions behind the mist.
Then, he laughed, with seven points of playfulness and three points of seriousness-
"If the protector of the country really likes to joke, how can there be a reason for a pregnant woman to guard the imperial mausoleum?"
The old fox's eyes narrowed and his face changed slightly, "What does the emperor mean, Xiao Jieyu, is pregnant?"
Li Changqing grinned and did not answer directly, but asked him: "Does Duke Protector think that Xiao Jieyu, who always serves in front of the imperial family, is not possible?"
Although he smiled, there was a hint of danger in Wei Yang's voice.
Na Quanzhong's doubts in his heart were only fleeting.
"In this case, then congratulations to the emperor for getting another dragon child, and my Dajing royal family can finally spread its branches and leaves."
When Li Changqing entered the inner hall, she saw Xiao Qingxue staring at her abdomen in a daze, unaware of his approach.
He sat down beside her, his eyes also fell on her abdomen, and his voice was slightly distant.
"You say, here, will our children be conceived?"
His big palm covered her flat stomach, and when he touched his cool hand, she shrank up and smiled for a moment:
"The emperor is joking, his concubine was never pregnant."
